Basic Initialization and Setup

Initialize the GroupDocs.Conversion library in your C# project:

using System;
using GroupDocs.Conversion;

string documentPath = Path.Combine("YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY", "sample.vcf");
// Initialize the converter with the path of the VCF file
using (var converter = new Converter(documentPath))
{
    // The converter object is ready for use.
}

This snippet sets up a Converter object, preparing you for conversion.

Implementation Guide

Load VCF File

Loading the VCF file is crucial as it sets up the source data for conversion.

using System;
using System.IO;
using GroupDocs.Conversion;

string documentPath = Path.Combine("YOUR_DOCUMENT_DIRECTORY", "sample.vcf");
// Initialize the converter with the path of the VCF file
using (var converter = new Converter(documentPath))
{
    // Ready to convert.
}

This code initializes a Converter object for accessing and converting your VCF data.

Configure Conversion Options

Setting up appropriate conversion settings ensures the output meets requirements.

using GroupDocs.Conversion.Options.Convert;

PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions options = new PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions();
options.Format = GroupDocs.Conversion.FileTypes.PageDescriptionLanguageFileType.Tex;
// Configured for TEX format.

Here, we create a PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions object and set its format to TEX.

Save Converted File

Saving the output ensures data is stored in the desired location and format.

using System.IO;

string outputFolder = "YOUR_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY";
string outputFile = Path.Combine(outputFolder, "vcf-converted-to.tex");

class MockConverter // Replace this with an actual Converter object for real use cases
{
    public void Convert(string outputFilePath, PageDescriptionLanguageConvertOptions options)
    {
        File.WriteAllText(outputFilePath, "Converted TEX content"); // Simulated conversion
    }
}

MockConverter converter = new MockConverter();
converter.Convert(outputFile, options);

In a real scenario, you would use converter.Convert(outputFile, options); to save your file.
